Bruce Frederick Joseph Springsteen (born September 23, 1949), nicknamed "The Boss," is an American singer-songwriter and leader of the E Street Band. He is recognized for his poetic lyrics, his Jersey Shore roots, his distinctive voice, and his lengthy, energetic stage performances.
Springsteen has recorded both rock albums and more somber folk-oriented works. His most successful studio albums, Born to Run (1975) and Born in the U.S.A. (1984), find pleasures in the struggles of daily American life.

I find that using the B chord above is better than the full barre chord in the seventh fret. It gives the song a chunkier sound, but of course, do what feels and sounds best to you.
E First time I crossed my heart I was beggin' baby please
At your bedside Down on my knees A When I crossed my heart E When I crossed my heart BE I crossed my heart Pretty baby over you
E Second time I crossed my heart rain came in from the south
I was lyin' there with somethin' sweet and salty in my mouth A When I crossed my heart E When I crossed my heart BE I crossed my heart pretty darlin' over you
A Well you may think the world is black and white E And you're dirty or you're clean A You better watch out you don't slip B Through those spaces in between
E Where the night gets sticky and the sky turns black
I grabbed you baby and you grabbed me back A And we crossed our hearts E We crossed our hearts BE Yeah I crossed my heart ..........
Repeat chords twice
A Well little boys little girls E Hell they know their wrongs from their rights A And once you cross your heart B You ain't never supposed to lie
E Well life ain't nothing but a cold hard ride
I ain't leavin' 'till I'm satisfied A I cross my heart E Yeah I cross my heart BE Well I cross m y heart pretty darlin' over you
